You have design experience in both roads and sewers and you are proficient in relevant engineering design software, specifically 3D Civils and Microdrainage. You can demonstrate excellent communication skills and you are able to manage numerous projects, allocate resources to meet deadlines and liaise with clients. You are a pro-active individual who is able to make constructive suggestions and contribute positively to the success of your organisation. You can demonstrate a real passion for what you do and an enthusiasm to work hard for your professional success.

What you'll get in return
You will be offered a competitive salary and excellent benefits package which includes a twice yearly bonus. Your new employer is happy to support with any further study requirements and they have a flexible working policy.
